one of my very favorite songs of all time
one of the best Aussie songs ever from the golden 70s-80s in Australian music.
I'm still happy to say that my music and record collection was cleared out by Marty Wilson Piper (guitarist in red shirt on right). He came over to my flat about 10 years ago, and was happy to take every musical thing I had. They're now safely at Marty Willson Piper's In Deep Music Archive in Cornwall, England (I think). Cool guy!
I live in Cornwall , I will check that out , If you can send any more details that would be spliffic ,cheers
1 of most iconic 80s rock songs ever
You are totally right. Steve Kilbey was a huge Bowie fan.
This was my introduction to The Church, 43 years ago this month. Starting Year 7 at high school, off the bus in the afternoon to hide in my bedroom. Put on radio 2NX and heard this.
I was once very good friends with the bloke who is described in the last verse of this song as having the hands that don’t make me hang.
The story is that Steve Kilby, the lead singer of the Church, had been in a band with a few others from his native city of Canberra. He had a dispute with some of the members of that band and was asked to leave. Unguarded Moment was Kilbey’s way of dealing with that. The first verse talks about the girlfriend of one of the band members who used to crack jokes at Kilbey’s expense. The second verse deals with the lead guitarist in the band who had been kicked in the chest by a horse when young and was the one who was instrumental in getting Kilbey’s kicked out of the band. The third verse is about my friend who was the band’s bass player, who didn’t come to Kilbey’s defence when the others were plotting to get rid of him.
My friend and Kilbey’s later reconciled. This meant that my friend could take me backstage a Church concert or two back in the early days.
Under The Milky Way, Reptile, Memories In Present Tense, I Am A Rock (yep, that song), Constant In Opal, You're Still Beautiful, You Took, When You Were Mine, Tear It All Away, Two Places At Once and Too Fast For You .. all good songs
I worked for Arista Records in the 80's & when The Church finally had a hit with Under The Milkyway & the album Starfish it was so well deserved. I was awarded a Gold Album for my work promoting the album & its a prized possession. They were a great band & you should check out When You Were Mine from their second album. Amazing this song is over 40 years old !
Still think of skins and heart and the blurred crusade are their best albums
@@peterdubois65 As a fan since 1981 I'd say The Blurred Crusade, Starfish and Heyday are their best.
Very cool!
@@I_was_a_Countdown_Kid-75-83 Seance is underrated
@LiveItUp Their US A&R guy thought The Church should go in a Little River Band direction ! He didn't care for The Blurred Crusade & neither that or Seance received a USA release. Difficult days in the states in the early 80's for The Church.
She was so lost esp when the solo hit. Yes the harmony got you girl lol ❤
I remember this appearing on the jukebox at our local pub (Charles Hotel in Fairy Meadow) in Wollongong Australia and loved playing it , saw them live later at Tanelorn festival in I think 1981 or 82 which was near Newcastle in a place called Stroud , good times
All-time great song from an underrated band
Also, the wonderful Ruby Fields (also an Aussie) absolutely nailed a fantastic cover of this song on like a version. It's on UA-cam everyone should check it out
Fell in love with these jangly paisley clad boys way back then.
First five albums and the E.P's are so good and many great songs and albums followed.
Another Australian musical national treasure for those that know The Church
The live set at the Sydney Opera House with the George Ellis Orchestra in 2011 is magical. Reworking songs like Metropolis, Almost With You, Myrrh and Tantalised as more mature players who understand the possibilities in their own music is a joy to behold. Tantalised is long but epic and exciting like the William Tell overture. It is frantic. raucous, energetic, out of control and has the orchestra right into it.
Really good of you guys to respond to your audience's wishes like that! 😃👍 And of course: Reacting to poppy/trendy Antipodean bands and artists is still better than not reacting to any at all! 😁 Have a great weekend, you and yours! 😊
First heard this 40 years ago when I met a friend on holiday and he had the cassette on his Walkman. Still my favourite all time song
Checking the Oz Rock, huh? Keep it up! Steve and the boys have some real jangle gems: Ripple, Almost With You, Under The Milky Way
I had this as a single and it has always been on my playlist. One of my favorite songs.
Great first album titled ''Of Skins & Hearts''. Favourite track ''Is This Where You Live'' (best build up to a crescendo track finale)
The first Church song I ever heard as a kid in Brisbane. I fell in love with them! *sigh*
Same here... but I first heard the song on the radio in Melbourne.
@@rhonda_hart4982 Oh nice! I love Melbourne!!
My first gig was the church, the angels and Siouxsie and the banshees. This was off their first album and the first I bought with my own money Of skins and heart. Still producing new material and touring internationally for over 40 years. Steve Kilbey is a genius
Thats a hell of a first show!
Did later gigs seem tame? 😅
@@Sandy-dd4le nah, so many good pub gigs and in 79 drivers licences had no photos lol I was 14 licence said 18 saw 2-3 gigs a week
@@peterdubois65 You were lucky, back in 1982 I turned 18 but looked 15 and got knocked back from pubs all the time. They thought my licence with no photo was fake. 40 years later at 58 I am happy to look 48.
Suzie and the banshees were great
I saw THE CHURCH with my Dad at the Sweetwaters music festival in 1983 also played that fest Split Ends Midnight Oil Toots and the Maytals DD SMASH/ ICE HOUSE/THE SCREAMING MEMEES/TAJ MAHAL/THE NETHERWORLD DANCING TOY'S/AND AT LEAST A COUPLE OF DOZEN OTHER BANDS I CAN'T REMEMBER OFF HAND GETTING OLD IS A PRIVILEGE THEY SAY BUT IT SURE IS PAINFUL AND FRUSTRATION CAN'T PICK UP TEASPOON OFF THE FLOOR WITHOUT WINCHING IN PAIN CAN'T SEE SHIT FORGET STUFF MID SENTENCE AND 🥱🥱😴😴😴💤💤💤🥴 GOOD NIGHT
I don't have much to say except it was a great song, it was great seeing them do it on Countdown and it was great seeing them do live shows with Sunnyboys. Tear It All Away, Too Fast For You, Bel-Air and Almost With You were other popular Church songs at the time that you might want to try. ''Alone With You'' by Sunnyboys will always remind me of my first boyfriend. All mentioned I recommend.
Thank you 👏👏👏
The first song I heard of the church was "a different man" in 84 originally 82
saw this on the Old Grey Whistle Test back in 1980 , great band
I agree with your Beatles comment I also think the riff if very similar to Ticket To Ride.
You'd have to be familiar with ''Under The Milky Way''. I recommend selected tracks from Of Skins and Heart/The Blurred Crusade era (Memories In Future Tense, Is This Where You Live, Bel-Air, You Took, Almost With You)
Us Countdown kids tied The Church with The Sunnyboys and for some reason, I still subconsciously see both bands as being of the same ilk.
Gillian and I crushed on Steve Kilbey and Marty Willson-Piper of The Church before we noticed that their drummer was close to our age and was also cute. Then The Sunnyboys popped out and like sisters do, we crushed on Jeremy Oxley of The Sunnyboys and were upset that he was 19 and we were still under the legal age.
For the Sunnyboys, try out the official video for ''You Need A Friend''. It's six minutes long with some weirdness added to it, but worth viewing.
I would also recommend Alone With You and Happy Man.
The Angels were closer to AC/DC than The Church and Sunnyboys, and I might leave it up to others to recommend their songs.
Cheers,
Hayley
Church leadman, Steve Kilbey, has two talented brothers who were in their own bands.
The Bhagavad Guitars and Crystal Set. I suggest these two.
Crystal Set - The Benefit Of The Doubt nzoz1986
[take note: Russell Kilbey singer - brother of Steve from The Church]
The Bhagavad Guitars - We Haven't Arrived nzoz1988
[take note: John Kilbey singer/guitarist - brother of Steve from The Church]
I'm keen to see a reaction to that Crystal Set song. I had the single, and thought Russell was so cute. The Bhagavads were just a bit too indie for my liking.
@@liveitup67 I still like the Crystal Set one to this day, but the Bhagavad song is good too.
Been a fan since 1980.. I can't bring myself to suggest any songs.
THE CHURCH - ALMOST WITH YOU (1982) 80s Forever Radio
or do what you want, running wild...
By the way, you have a lovely deep speaking voice, the tone is beautiful to listen to.
And yes, that totally sounded like it may well have been by The Psychedelic Furs (in regards to John Hughes movies), and I also heard a pinch of The Cure in there 😀 Also *my* first time hearing that song, and I like it a lot, too! 😊
You both are great
Great band, they were one of those Australian acts that were relatively big in the UK at the time....in a kind of indie band way
Fine purveyors of the Rickenbacker Jangle!
They always reminded me of some of the Paisley Underground scene bands, ...which is not so far away from the Dunedin sound.
Dunedin sound! You're onto something there.
@@OnceWasRStrathfield I've always been fascinated that two seperate scenes could happen at much the same time, in different areas of the world, and have so much in common. I expect you know more about Dunedin than I, but if you haven't had a look at Paisley Underground, it's worth it. If you like the Dunedin stuff, you'll enjoy at least some of it.
A note for Chris!....Prince was a fan of the Paisley Underground!...there's a connection with Paisley Park, he signed one or two of the Paisley bands to his label, and wrote Manic Monday for The Bangles, who were originally a Paisley Underground band.....the whole scene is well worth a look, The Bangles, The Dream Syndicate, Green On Red, The Three O'clock, you can also include The Long Ryders and Big Star. Plus a whole load of side bands that various members of the above were in with each other. Its a very incestuous little scene, kind of a mix of the DIY Punk thinking and classic sixties in some ways.
@@Sandy-dd4le It is quite interesting that two scenes separated by oceans could still come up with similar results. I am aware of the Paisley Underground, and the groups that came with that scene. I think The Church has a foot in that scene too. Funny enough, Rage (a music show in Australia) played an old Three O'Clock video a few weeks ago. Check out the bands that were featured Steve Kilbey's brothers: Crystal Set (Benefit Of The Doubt) and The Bhagavad Guitars (We Haven't Arrived)
Yes , remember this band , they were OK , still sounds good , reminds me of a few bands rolled into one , cheers ,
Thanks for the reaction! I will suggest the song "Aura" for your next church track.
Strangely I found this show after just having seen the Church live at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney!!. Spooky. They sound as good as ever and have got a new album for those interested.
Exactly…I thought Joy Division also 👌
Take a listen to their first single ''she never said''
Very underated band definitely influencential for a lot's of early 80s band s . Would be nice for those bands to pay homage to the Church
The Church were a great second tier act. Below the first tier acts like Chisels, the Oils, AC/DC, etc, there were a slew of great local acts that were interesting and great to see.
Alongside The Church you might tackle stuff like:
Matt Finish - Always Another (there’s a great live video for it following a very brief snippet of an interview with Matt Moffitt and John Pryor)
The Angels - Take A Long Line (studio version all the way)
Australian Crawl - Beautiful People
Baby Animals - Early Warning
The Badloves - Slave
The Black Sorrows - Chained To The Wheel
Boom Crash Opera - Great Wall
The Cat Empire - Days Like These
The Cruel Sea - The Honeymoon Is Over
Daddy Cool - Eagle Rock
Do-Re-Mi - Warnings Moving Clockwise
Deborah Conway - Alive And Brilliant
Diesel - Tip Of My Tongue
Dynamic Hepnotics - Soul Kind Of Feeling
Eurogliders - Heaven (Must Be There)
Goanna - Solid Rock
Hoodoo Gurus - The Right Time
Hunters & Collectors - Say Goodbye
Icehouse (née Flowers) - Love In Motion (not the remake with Chrissie Amphlett)
INXS - The One Thing (back when they were a second tier band)
Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons - Shape I’m In
Kate Ceberano - Brave
Paul Kelly - Deeper Water
Machinations - My Heart’s On Fire
Mental As Anything - Too Many Times
Midnight Oil - Short Memory (I know they’re top tier but chances are you don’t know their best stuff from the earlier years)
Mondo Rock - No Time
Richard Clapton - I Am An Island
The Superjesus - Gravity
Things Of Stone And Wood - Happy Birthday Helen
Thirsty Merc - Emancipate Myself
The Truth - My Heavy Friend
You Am I - Heavy Heart
The Whitlams - No Aphrodisiac
There’s one or two in there that I think you did before - the mobile app doesn’t allow us to search your channel to check, so sorry if I’ve listed a song you’ve already done. Anyhow, there’s plenty to consider here. No problem if you don’t do any, but I’m glad you enjoyed this one. It’s a top pub rock track.
Great list! I sent the Haniers an email with a guide as to how to get the best quality videos, as the best sound and picture quality stuff doesn't always appear in the search results.
Edit: An email based on the songs in your list.
@@OnceWasRStrathfield
champion!!
Love the list, Sean!
Here's my pickings:
The Angels - Take A Long Line (studio version all the way)
Daddy Cool - Eagle Rock
Do-Re-Mi - Warnings Moving Clockwise
Deborah Conway - Alive And Brilliant
Dynamic Hepnotics - Soul Kind Of Feeling
Eurogliders - Heaven (Must Be There)
INXS - The One Thing
Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons - Shape I’m In
Kate Ceberano - Brave
Machinations - My Heart’s On Fire
Mental As Anything - Too Many Times
@@OnceWasRStrathfield Such a shame that email had to come from you. They'll never get it. lol
If they do bother to check your email, I hope they make some use of it. I'm beginning to get infuriated by all this dismissiveness.
We are not trying to be dismissive. We usually use the ones you send us in the emails but sometimes we mess up, sorry.
Legendary song
Well done for picking this one! This was their first hit single which means you've started at a pretty good place.
The Church are one of my all-time favourite bands. I have all their albums, including solo releases and side projects. The band have 25 studio albums with the new release being The Hypnogogue (a prog-rock album). Although they were a credible live band in Sydney, they were tarnished as a Countdown band in the early days, and us Countdown kids took to them and pushed ''The Unguarded Moment'' into the Australian charts.
You two would have to know this one:
The Church - Under The Milky Way (Official Music Video) [HD Upgrade]
Hi Hayley! 😀 You won't believe this, but 'Under The Milky Way' had been the only song by The Church I'd known before *today* ! 😅 Also their only song I remember being played on German Radio 🙂
@@mightyV444Interesting how these things work. They weren't the most commercially driven band, which might explain some things. I believe Michael Hutchence and Andrew Farris of INXS attempted to lure Steve Kilbey to an isolated area at some music festival, so they could beat him up after he slagged INXS off in the press.
You should try ''You Took''.
@@I_was_a_Countdown_Kid-75-83 - They attempted to lure Steve Kilbey to an isolated area, you mean? Woah! Hopefully it had remained only an attempt, too! 😅 I think some Australian bands had simply been 1-Hit-Wonders in Germany, like these guys and also The Divinyls with 'Pleasure And Pain' 🙂And I've been noticing a car in my 'hood recently with 'LRB' on its license plate 😄 Now *those* guys definitely had *not* been a 1-Hit-Wonder in Deutschland! 😊 Thank you for the suggestion with 'You Took', Hayley! I'll check it out in just a moment! 😀👍 *Edit:* Very cool song! 🤩
@@mightyV444 I did mean Steve Kilbey.
Kilbey annoyed people in Australia because he once told journalist, Stuart Coupe, that he was the best songwriter that Australia ever had and The Church only had one album at that stage.
@@I_was_a_Countdown_Kid-75-83 - Sounds like he might've been under the influence of some, uh, 'additives' at the time 😄 Unless that was a massive ego talking 😄
Awesome live band too.
Great australian band❤
Pretty good. I like it
I find your reaction videos very watchable. Cynthia, particularly, adds a really relatable colour and flavour with her comments. Wouldn't be the same without her.
Of Skins and Hearts is a great album, check out ''Bel-air''.
Great song love this band
Australia's poppy bands in the 80s were a lot more rock n roll than the pop bands around the world at the time. More Sunny Boys...Tunnel of my Love...this is early The Church when their sound was a bit more punk rock/ alternative. Later their sound became more acoustic sounding but they remained very unique throughout their career and were bigger in the USA than Australia. Mood music but they never get it wrong...great band...these Aussie bands existed as pub bands for decades because their music was just so good.
i like them .i did not know they are from australia
Eskimo Joe is another great underrated Aussie band worth checking out.
Oh! They're from Australia? I didn't know that! I remember their song 'Black Fingernails, Red Wine' being quite popular here in NZ at the time 🙂
@@mightyV444 from Western Australia
@@mightyV444 the music video liar is also worth checking out. . Mr In Between vibes.
@@trumpsta4759 - Will do. Cheers! 😀
@@trumpsta4759 - "the music video liar is also worth checking out" - Yikes! 😬
The band is still going but with Steve Kilbey and no other original members. I don’t think that’s a bad thing: Ashley Baylor’s a great player. While I think of it, check out Even.
*Naylor
At some point, could you guys do THE CHURCH - Hypnogogue? It's the newest work, and an example of what The Church always do. Make great music.
Cheers,
Hayley
Top notch song by a top notch band..
Reptile is my favorite song by The Church.
On September 13, 1954 two boys by the name of Steve were born on different sides of the planet. One Steve was born in Australia, and the other born in England. The latter would move to Australia as a 10 pound pom. Both Steves would get into music and would eventually form successful bands. The Aussie Steve would form and front The Sports, and the English Steve would form and front The Church. In 1998, both Steves would meet and begin working together. English-born Steve Kilbey would work on Australian-born Stephen Cummings' solo album _Escapist_ while being high as a kite. Stephen Cummings would bitterly bitch about it in his 2009 autobiography _Will It Be Funny Tomorrow, Billy_ and I believe Steve Kilbey responded with something like ''I probably was!''.
That's all!
Church songs to check out: Almost With You, Tear It All Away, Tantalized, Under The Milky Way, Two Places At Once, Youth Worshipper
lol.. that book of Cummings was unbelievable! There was a defunct documentary that was made about his book, and how many people it pissed off!
@@OnceWasRStrathfield I never knew about the documentary on his book.
@@brettfrench6121 What happens in this fcking country (Australia) is that good things that are on the mere development stage either get cancelled or diverted. The _Don't Throw Stones_ documentary is one of them. Take a look at it yourself.
Don't Throw Stones Trailer, Stephen Cummings and The Sports Film
Sometimes I really do hate this country.
@@OnceWasRStrathfield Thanks for that. Looks very interesting.
Nice reaction guy. Please give The Triffids a go. Bury me Deep In Love or Wide Open Road. Cheers
Fantastic song and fantastic band. Love Steve Kilby's voice. Steve has became bitter and twisted as he has aged though!
All those drugs!
The first reaction video to the brilliant ''The Unguarded Moment''.
Now all you need to do is get through the band's impenetrable body of work.
U guys listening to listening to some cool bands
Reading through some of these fascintating comments, all I can think is Christ O' Mighty, little wonder Molly's now old and loopy. Countdown must have been a living hell!
maybe check out "one day"...another classic church song👽👽👽👽👽😻😻😻

I also thought the set looked like one of those agricultural/farm sheds when I first saw the video in 1981. I could be wrong, but I think Countdown made the video because the singer, Steve Kilbey, was not happy with the original video. I remember seeing two other videos shot in that same farm shed. Too Fast For You, possibly? This remains one of my favourite Church songs, but other songs like Too Fast For You, Under The Milky Way, Almost With You and Tear It All Away are worth your time 🙏
More New Order look and sound

@@mightyV444 And again, thank you Mighty 'V'.
So, do you know of another Canadian couple I can hassle?
Not *Play It Again with Mike and Ginger* - they're annoying.
Is kinda late Joy Division
You are missing the point of the song. We were before our time. We didn't realise we were singing the future as well. The point of our music, was to sing about what bothered us, what we cared about, what needed to be brought to life. It was never about the technical side of music, or what sort of voice each person had, its more about tone of voice, and to get heard. Our nation was and still is a silent nation whose voice was silenced. The ones the world refuses to listen to, and prefers to forget. We were not heard in the spoken, definitely heard in the silence and remembered, as we communicated to each other through the silence, through our music, and what could not be spoken could be sung. When you say nothing about the lyrics, does a deservice to the song, writing and our generation. We want our children to remember about us, we want them to remember our truth and who we are, who we were not. To stay true to hear we are, no matter who and what tries to silence us. We will always sing about what matters, what is deep and meaningful but more importantly the truth...."telll those girls with rifles for mind....tell those men with horses for hearts.....Tell those friends with cameras for eyes" Tell them is what is important.
You guys look you can't give a shit. Have a nice cuppa tea and go to bed.
